Feeling Quiet
Ah! Sanity reigns again, for now...
Today things were back to a normal "stress level" around here. Why? Let me explain a few things about living in an Assisted Living Facility. Many of the residents are either Dementia or Alzheimer's patients. The lady in question is 92, Alzheimer's and a psychiatric (psychotic) patient. Then add in one more factor - it was full moon last night. People with these problems become more agitated, wander more and are more prone to agressiveness. Believe me, after living here 3 years, it's true. So, no matter what I said to her, it wasn't registering with her. Should she be here? No. But I don't make those decisions. Today she was "medicated" and has been quiet. That's how they handle them here.
Catalog count up 2 more.
til tomorrow.....
